Plot
Donald has the intention to go out and play golf. When he notices it's a sunny day outside he feels excited and prepares himself to go out as quickly as possible. However, as soon as he leaves his house out of nowhere a rainy thunderstorm comes crashing down the sky. Now in a bad mood he acts mean towards Huey, Louie and Dewey, who decide to play a trick on him. As Donald rummages through a medical book to pass the time while it rains outside, the nephews manage to fool him into believing he is terminally ill. As Donald is laid to rest on his couch they sneak a little toy rabbit on an air pump underneath his blanket and start pumping air into it. Donald assumes it's his heart beating overtime and fears he's about to die. Eventually he discovers he's been fooled all along and wants to punish Huey, Louie and Dewey. Then the sun returns and Donald is immediately distracted. He runs outside with his golf gear, only for the thunder weather to return immediately and even strike him by lightning...
